"Where the world has not been broken up into fragments, by narrow domestic walls." When Rabindranath Thakur wrote these lines, little did anyone imagine that such walls would be raised against Bengalis. Little did we know that Bengalis will be beaten up, not by oppressive colonialists from a land afar, but our very own home-grown imperialists. In this episode we recount the recent spree of persecution and disenfranchisement of Bengalis in India.

In this explosive episode of The Coffee House Experience, Adil Hossain joins us to expose the harsh realities of persecution, disenfranchisement, and discrimination faced by Bengali communities today. From citizenship battles to systemic exclusion, we uncover how entire populations are being pushed to the margins.

The world has seen an unprecedented rise in the generation and spread of false information, and India is arguably at its epicenter. Their creation is quite often deliberate which is when they are called disinformation. At other times they are unintentional, which is when they are called misinformation. Often dubbed as “fake news”, they spread like an information epidemic through social media, before crippling public opinion and mainstream narratives. In this session, Oishani Bhattacharya (English Correspondent and Researcher, Alt News) will take us behind the scenes of fact-checking — explaining how false claims are identified, verified and debunked.

In this episode, we dive into how data-driven decision-making can transform India’s legal system. Joining us is Siddharth Raman from XKDR Forum, a former Bain consultant, whose research focuses on applying actuarial thinking to court management. From optimising how manpower is allocated in lower courts to identifying patterns that can reduce case backlogs, Siddharth explains how smart, evidence-based reforms can bring speed, efficiency, and fairness to the justice delivery process. If you've ever wondered how analytics could help untangle India's judicial gridlock, this conversation will give you the clarity—and the numbers—to understand the path forward.
